    The Ramirez allegation makes it clear why Republicans tried so hard to force Ford to appear last week.

        Because unlike liberal SCOTUS, he won't subvert the constitution. He will judge based on law not on feelings. I seems you people want a SCOTUS that will judge outside the scope of the constitution. Seriously, is that what your looking for?

        Shiiid. By Thursday we may have even more. His perjury, financial indiscretions and loyalty to tRump should've been enough to block him. Now we'll need several assault allegations on top of those. Republicans are something ELSE.

        Their opening position was a background investigation. Only because they didn't have the votes was a hearing offered.

        Based on recent precedent, if Kavanagh clicks up over 17 accusations of sex assault, the Republicans will make him President!

        Republicans tried to accelerate Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation after learning there was a second woman who was accusing him of a sex crime. Burn them to the ground in November.

        And GOP Senators whining about getting sandbagged at the last minute by these Kavanaugh revelations is like getting caught 𝘐𝘯 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰 with another's spouse. It's not the defense of one who didn't do it, but of one who whines about getting caught.

        LOL! While I did take 2 years of Latin in highschool, I must admit to being part of the entire class sophomore year who all taunted our Latin teacher mercilessly. That poor Brother had zero defenses to our wilding habits. Lord of the Flies accurately describes teenage boys.

        I took Latin too. My Latin teacher was ' Bulldog Tilley" - a woman who looked just like her name. She scared the sh*t out of me so bad it was one of my best classes. She'd make us go to the board and conjugate verbs and mock us relentlessly if we didn't do it right. RIP Bulldog

        I did learn & remember amo, amas, amat, but that was probably freshman year. Our sophomore year Latin teacher was the exact opposite of your Bulldog. A meek man in the Christian Brothers who had zero self confidence and never should have been placed to teach teenage boys.

        Oh yes, I've seen that type. They wouldn't last long in my public schools! My homeroom teacher in HS for some reason had the nickname ' Seaweed" and developed a nervous twitch in her mouth. Guys would come by the class and yell 'Seaweed" and then run away. #PublicSchoolDaze

        Hah! I still remember fellow students in Brother Cletus' Latin class taking the ink things our of our Bic pens and then using it as a makeshift blowgun to fire paper spitballs at him whenever he was writing on the chalkboard. We were mean!
